'I can’t walk before dawn because it is dangerous. We have robbers all over the township. It is scary to walk in the early hours of the morning. They rob and mug people … Some are capable of rape...'
About 20 pupils told GroundUp that they had been locked out for weeks and some have missed tests. The majority are in matric. They said they travel long distances on foot.
"My parents would kill me [if they knew]. You can't tell a parent that you don't attend learning classes," said the grade 12 pupil. "Some of us have been locked out for two weeks. School starts at 7.30am and the security guards lock the gates at 7.50.“The principal was asked to at least come with another form of punishment. Locking us out doesn’t do us any good … We are being left behind.
